Rosseland is a lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies less than a crater diameter to the northeast of Carver crater, and about the sme distance to the west of the larger Roche crater. To the northwest lies the smaller Coblentz crater.
This formation overlays the southern rim of the larger satellite crater 'Rosseland V'. The rim of Rosseland is worn and uneven. The interior floor is relatively level and has some patches of lower albedo material along the edges of the inner wall.
